Screams of fighter jets and the whomp-whomp-whomp of combat helicopters have become almost as ubiquitous as face painting and "Hi Mom, Send Money!" signs at college football games.

Three Pittsburgh Pirates minor leaguers were suspended Wednesday for failing drug tests last year, with Triple-A pitcher Brian Mallette drawing a 30-game penalty as a two-time offender. Outfielder Jon Nunnally, also with Pittsburgh's Indianapolis farm team, was given a 15-game suspension as a first offender, as was infielder Tom Evans, who plays for Double-A Altoona.
